Public bug reported:

I am using Evolution on an up-to-date Precise system.

I noticed that when clicking in an HTML e-mail, some seemingly random
piece of text will be selected/highlighted. The selection ends where I
clicked, but I cannot find a pattern as to where it starts. Also, this
prevents properly selecting text, as clicking and dragging also will
result in fairly random text selection. Links are not opened when
clicking on them.

These effects do not appear with plain text e-mails, only HTML e-mails
are affected.

I recorded a short screencast to show the issue.
